My husband (m29) and I (f27) are considering child adoption (aged 2-6). We have a bio daughter who will be 1 in October. Interested in hearing your experiences!

that's one person. that doesn't make up for the statistics amongst a large group of people. plenty of rich rappers grew up in the hood and are now extremely wealthy.. does that mean that people who grow up in the hood are going to all overcome adversity.. No. and the statistics will show that.

you are just blind. you took my original statement out of context and made a big deal about it like a fucking dumb twat waffle. you have still yet to prove anything except the fact that you can't read clear statistics. go ahead..... adopt some random foster kid and start letting him or her babysit your kid.. pls do that. lmao

too be blind to the obvious risk factor is stupid... but stupid is your specialty huh. you keep trying to validate your experience.. ill keep looking at the detailed research done on thousands of adoptees and foster kids.

so are you saying that kids who were raped or beatin aren't prone to behavioral issues (sometimes very extreme)

if thats your opinion you need to get an education and stop thinking just because you aren't a rapist or an abuser that someone else who experienced similar traumas wouldn't manifest different emotions. funny how almost every child molester was molested as a kid, almost every abuser or wife beater seen that as a kid. Learned behavior. lots of abused kids don't even know what they are doing is wrong they think its normal.

A person would have to be blind not to protect themselves. foster kids are damaged, similar to prisoners. would you let a prisoner watch your children if you didn't have a lengthy history. he just shows up your house one day with a face tattoo and says I'm here to babysit.

sure he might be the best guy ever, but to blindly accept that and take no precautions would be incredibly stupid
